Apples and oranges. I don't think the biggest difference is, or should be, battery life. But from what I've read, there hasn't been any appreciable improvement in time-before-charge. I hate the fact that I have to plan my day around how much life I have left on my phone just so designers can point to a thin, delicate little device and call it usable. Put some decent batteries in the damn things!! (sorry) This article from Android Central may help with your question: http://www.androidcentral.com/htc-one-x-battery-life-impressive-performance-after-three-weeks-use

However, that being said, battery life has steadily improved on my Amaze from dreadful (on a new battery with the stock ROM) to workable (after weeks of use and on the Energy ROM). NRG does a terrific job squeezing out as much juice as practical, but he can only work with the software as designed. From what I understand, ICS should provide another boost in battery life just because of the way it utilizes the dual cores, but I have no 1st hand knowledge of that.

You can't go wrong with Energy ROMs for whatever device he cooks them, but battery life will never be great so don't let that be your main consideration. (BTW, I really like my Amaze and am very happy with it - it works great!)
[HTC Amaze 4G] eliasadrian:
Disabling 4G will give you days of battery life. As far as I know 3G and 4G are used simultaneously, so it's either those or edge...but staying on edge consumes so little battery. I used to do it on my G1 and sometimes MT4G when I had long days of classes.
[HTC Amaze 4G] frodoboy:
I use switch widget pro to turn wifi/data/gps on and off from the home screen (screenshot below). It is totally customizable and can quickly turn many features on and off. I don't use or have to have data/wifi or gps on all the time so this is a quick way to enable/disable them and save a

lot

of battery! There are several apps that can do this for you. Actually I think that 3g/4g always on eats the battery the most. GPS doesn't appear to power on unless an app needs it. For me though, the Home screen switch option (can actually be put on every screen) is the best battery-saving solution for me. I can easily get 3 days of moderate use this way.
[HTC Amaze 4G] itais:
Thank you all for you're inputs,

I am starting to lean towards the Amaze :D tho I might have a problem getting it in Israel :( :(

Itai.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jcorv58:
Does anyone have any info on this?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
Reinstall it and see if it starts to work again. Doesn't take that long to use root explorer click on the Rom. Navigate to system/apps .. extract the HtcAlbum.apk and move it to the system/app and set permissions. Should not even take a minute.

Wait....I sent this with Tapatalk?
[HTC Amaze 4G] jcorv58:
I didn't have the rom installed anymore, just wondering if anyone else had this problem, I didn't want to install the whole rom again just for the app if unnecessary, also never backed it up apparently, oops :rolleyes: guess I will try though
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
You don't need to reinstall the whole Rom. Just the HtcAlbum.apk. but since the Rom is not on your phone then nvm.

Wait....I sent this with Tapatalk?
[HTC Amaze 4G] jcorv58:
I didn't have the rom zip downloaded lol...I should have clarified that :rolleyes: Dling now though, I hate to have an app installed if it is only used to look at the pic post-view after it is taken but whatev I guess
[HTC Amaze 4G] lnxpro:
but the gallery is part of the rom. can't even be uninstalled. unless you use other apps to uninstall the gallery. face the consequences of removing rom required apps. leave gallery alone and it will work just fine.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jcorv58:
I use Tibu to uninstall the system apps, it was the only minor issue anyway, wasn't a big deal. I didn't have any issues uninstalling it on the other roms I used so I didn't think it would be required on here. I haven't been on a sense rom since I first got Android nearly 2 years ago, loving this rom and it has made me want to stay with sense, not sure why everyone degrades it besides the lack of custom icon support that other launchers have, I see no issues with battery life either. This is the only issue I have had, so I thank the dev(s) for the work they do, (and you others for the replies) much appreciated by this rooting, flashing addict.
[HTC Amaze 4G] gaww:
I would not bother with the Amaze at this time - go for the One X. We will not be able to get that one here on TMo. We will only get the S version, which may not motivate me enough to jump from my Amaze, but if you have not bought the Amaze - don't bother with it.

The Amaze may still not see ICS for a long time (have it on my G2X), and the X will come with it. It will also have much more development support then the Amaze.
[HTC Amaze 4G] itais:
I have a few concerns,

1. It has 26GB fixed, No microSD ext.

2. It's made out of one part, so you can't open it and replace the battery by you're self.

3. Micro sim only.

4. SAR Rate of 0.909

Numbers 1,2 & 4 are my main concerns.

I know it has 4 cores vs 2 in the amaze, and that the amaze still douse not have ICS but HTC promised they will roll it out :rolleyes:

But all options are open :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] misfit61871:
It may have 4 cores, but it is still only clocked at 1.5GHz, almost the same specs as the amaze but with a bigger price tag.

If you have to have the latest and greatest then go with the one s, I love my amaze! And s-off and cm9 and ICS are all coming eventually and I'm sure support will follow.

Is this still the Energy Development thread? Seems kinda generalish lately. :rolleyes:

Sent from my HTC Amaze running Sense 3.5
[HTC Amaze 4G] itais:
BTW, They say it's 1.5 but as the battery power level drops so douse the Clock freq' it can reach 1.0, Some even say it starts at 1.0 :rolleyes:
[HTC Amaze 4G] itais:
Yeap, just got a little side track :D

Kernel

yes I haveread thru and am having a problem getting the Kernel installed.

I saw the Kernel flasher and have no idea how to make it work. Any assistance here or in private message would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
After downloading the ROM zip file, move it to your SD card. Make a copy of it and keep a copy on your desktop. Extract the copy of the ROM to your desktop and open the extracted folder. Take the boot.img from that folder and put it in the "place kernel here" folder in the stock kernel flasher. Make sure your phone has adb debugging turned on. Plug phone into desktop and run the "flash.bat" program from the kernel flasher (ONLY IF U ARE ON WINDOWS) :D

That should be all

PS... If you use 4ext recovery, you don't need to flash kernel separately... The recovery does it for you :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] mahgninnuc93:
Thanks Glacier...I appreciate the love. Doing it now!
[HTC Amaze 4G] RobsSXT:
Downloaded, installed and HUGE improvement over the stock ROM.

One question though-

How do I get rid of the wind sound when I unlock? I have gone to Settings>Screen lock sounds and unchecked it, but this wasn't the right option. Is this option available to disable the sounds? I also looked in Tweaks but didn't see anything in there.
[HTC Amaze 4G] lnxpro:
that comes from your weather. depending on your weather there will be different sounds. you can disable it if you want from the weather off of the sense clock.
[HTC Amaze 4G] RobsSXT:
Thanks. I use the Beautiful Widgets. But I turned on the HTC widget and went into settings, and turned off sound effects. It didn't work.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
Go into your app drawer and find the weather application...should be near the bottom. Open it and hit Menu>Settings ... It will be the last option. Just turn the check off.

[HTC Amaze 4G] lnxpro:
awesome. i installed it. finally turned wifi calling back on. it's a shame that NRG disappeared every time we asked him about this issue. only great issue i had with it. otherwise everything was great. will keep posted if the fix is working or not.
[HTC Amaze 4G] MildewMan:
Not sure if this works. My signal goes out whenever I have wifi calling enabled now (even if I have Wifi disabled).

Edit: Don't listen to me. I figured out why it was doing this. This fix should work!
[HTC Amaze 4G] ickedmel:
I need to check the fix out also It's the only reason I stopped using this Rom
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
The mms.apk fix works. It unthemes the icon too. And it disables the zoom feature that was found on NRGZ modified mms.apk.

Planning on flashing this rom when I get home from work.

I would assume that since its using the stock kernal, NFC functionality remains the same?

I'm doing some NFC experiments so I hope it works the same as the stock rom
[HTC Amaze 4G] cndctrdj:
another amazing job... thank you
[HTC Amaze 4G] ickedmel:
This fix really does work nice job, I thanked him on his post. Back on energy because of the fix.
[HTC Amaze 4G] HuskyHamburger:
NRGZ28, In what folder of the Mms.apk is the themed icon? We could use Ninjamorph or a computer application to change the timestamp fix icon to your themed icon
[HTC Amaze 4G] erkme73:
Is anyone else having issues with wifi disconnecting when the phone goes to sleep? Regardless of "best performance" and "never disconnect when sleeping" settings, my connection drops randomly - and will only reconnect when I wake the phone. No matter what ROM I try, stock or otherwise, I have the same issue - both on my Amaze and my wife's.
[HTC Amaze 4G] howhi50:
Yup. Noticed it for the past couple of weeks now.
[HTC Amaze 4G] erkme73:
I've had this issue since day one (early February). At first I thought it was my AP/router - so I replaced it. But I have the same issue at home, work, school, parents, neighbors houses...

The problem is that any wifi-dependent app will not work reliably when the phone goes to sleep. For example, when I get up in the morning and wake the phone, Gmail says I have no new emails. Then 20 seconds later, after the wifi has reestablished the connection, I get 15 new emails - all of them sent hours earlier. It's like taking a leap 10 years back in time, technology-wise. My dial-up account with pop-server mail was more reliable.

I've done all sorts of searching, and until this month, I've found very few others who's reported this issue with the Amaze. Pinging the phone from a LAN pc shows times going from 1 - 5 ms. to 200-700ms after 10 minutes of sleep. Then, bam... host unreachable. Sometimes it's 10 minutes... sometimes hours... sometimes not at all.

I run a Tasker profile that monitors for specific SSIDs to trigger certain tasks (i.e. disarm my house alarm, set phone to silent/loud, etc). None of these work worth a damn when the wifi radio shuts off.

One task specifically disarms my house when it seems my home SSID. In the script, I have the phone say "Disarming house now" so I know it's activated. Nothing like sitting at home all day, hearing the damn phone say "disarming house now" and hearing my alarm disarm - as the radio toggles on and off all on its own.

I have such buyers remorse, but having paid nearly $1300 for two unsubsidized phones from a retail TMO store, means they gave me all of 15 nanoseconds before they said, "Not our problem, call HTC".

Frustrating.
[HTC Amaze 4G] lnxpro:
known issue. was happening on stock ROM too. until HTC releases an updated radio firmware we are stuck with it. i have a radio streaming app which is useless as after about 10 min the stream stops, WiFi disconnects. when i turn screen on the WiFi resumes a few seconds later and so does the radio streaming app. it's annoying. i got around it by keeping phone plugged in and set screen not to go to sleep.
[HTC Amaze 4G] erkme73:
That makes me feel much better. I guess my search skill are just not that good (or maybe my patience threshold is lower than most), because I can't seem to find anyone else really *****ing about it.

ETA:

I tried setting the IP on the phone statically (vs. DHCP) as some had suggested this workaround might cure it. Here are my results...

Incidentally, it's not just the wifi shutting off when the screen goes dark. The wifi performance in general is piss poor. If i put my hand anywhere near the phone, the wifi data rate comes to a complete stop for at least a second or two, then recovers. Most things, like browsing, you'd barely notice. But VoIP or any streaming non-buffered content gets beat to hell. I can't even have my silicone (non metal) cover on it, or data rates drop by about 80%.

I sure hope that's something an 'update' can fix... but, not being an RF engineers, I just can't see how.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ernieg92:
I won't say my wifi issue was quite that bad (I only occasionally lost wifi). However, using JuiceDefenderUltimate, my wifi works 100% like its supposed to. Emails/texts are all waiting for me in the AM.

There's a free version of JuiceDefender if you want to try it out first. Ultimate just gives you a LOT more granularity of control of power settings.
[HTC Amaze 4G] NRGZ28:
The Amaze is my daily device (again) so you know I HAVE to update the ROM with the latest and greatest. Look for an update sometime in the next couple of days. I'm thinking some Sense 4.0 ingredients and some improved performance is needed. The SMS timestamp issue is already fixed for the next update.
[HTC Amaze 4G] phanompin23:
Hell Yeah!!! More donations on the way! Thank you again, NRGZ28, for your hard work n dedication.

Any way you can update this to Sense 3.5? I know everything won't work if you do. But just wondering if that is still in the works.

Wait....I sent this with Tapatalk?
[HTC Amaze 4G] xxquicksh0txx:
You couldn't just update this rom to sense 3.5, you would actually have to port 3.5 over to the device. Which is why bluetooth isn't going to work, and wifi calling.
[HTC Amaze 4G] vvveith:
Not true with stock.

Hate to be a bearer of bad news, but I use a stock, unrooted Amaze and the WiFi does not turn off when the screen goes to sleep, everything works flawlessly! So it would have to be a kernel problem. I use WiFi calling and have emails come in at all times of the night and day. Never had my WiFi turn off on it's own. The only way it turns off is if I switch it off, which I never do at home because I get no cell service in my house and have to use the WiFi calling feature, it has never failed me except when the TMO server goes down, which happens from time to time, I suspect for maintenance. But that happen so seldom that it is a non issue. So start looking for something that is not the same as a true stock phone and you will find your answer. :rolleyes:
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
I know that, I'm not brand new. But it still would be an update for NRGZ Rom wouldn't it?

if you would have cared to read our posts a few pages back that started this you would had noticed that this was already checked.

thanks anyway.
[HTC Amaze 4G] gregb882:
Actually, I am rooted using NRGs ROM and I rarely have a problem with WiFi turning off while asleep. In fact it happens so rarely that I've never bothered to diagnose the cause so I suppose it could be shutting off on its own, but it just hasn't been a big enough issue to bother. (Although I have a pretty good 4G signal, my WiFi is much better so I tend to use it most of the time at home.) I did have the SMS time stamp issue before applying the fix posted a few pages ago, but that's it!
[HTC Amaze 4G] MildewMan:
I apologize if you've already tried this, but have you tried wiping all data/cache/dalvik cache and formatting all of your partitions using 4EXT, and then reinstalling the energy rom fresh? Perhaps there's an old file or something that got left over in one of your partitions that is screwing with it? My WiFi doesn't shut off when the screen turns off, so I can't speak from experience on the issue, but maybe it's worth a shot.
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
When is the ICS RUU going to be blessed with Energy?
[HTC Amaze 4G] lnxpro:
as soon as tmobile releases it then NRG can take it and have his way with it :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
it was leaked
[HTC Amaze 4G] lnxpro:
care to point out sources or links that would help NRG find it? I wouldn't mind trying it. and when you say leaked, you mean ICS RUU meant for this phone, official update, not one of those pieced together ICS ROMs floating around. correct?

[HTC Amaze 4G] phanompin23:
Will we need to have S-OFF in order to install your new rom? Im just a little confused about the whole thing..
[HTC Amaze 4G] synergymike:
Glad to hear :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] rbaruch:
Will we need S-OFF & updated firmwares to install your ROM?
[HTC Amaze 4G] lnxpro:
quite possibly since the new leaked RUU contains a new boot and a new radio and some other new hardware firmware files.

EDIT: although that would really suck since I can't get S-OFF due to my phone which for some reason does not have the 2 small pin holes so I can't do the wire trick... I may have to open the phone and do it that way if needed. we shall see what NRG recommends.
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
Yeah buddy!!!! Thank you!!! =). It's way too late to scrounge my appt for any wire to s off my Amaze, and I don't want to take the chance that ill be s on forever, so this is terrific news =). Your ROM has been running flawlessly for me, so I'm lookin forward to being able to continue enjoying the fruits of your labor with ICS =)

Edit - I sure hope it doesn't require s off as well because, although I procured a wire and can go through the s off process just fine (provided it works while this ROM is flashed). My pos windows powered sh-- box is on the Fritz. If I were as comfortable with Linux as I am with windows I'd abandon Microsoft all together. Blasted Windows. Faulty piece of crap operating system. (Can anyone tell how aggravated Windows has me right now? Lol)
[HTC Amaze 4G] phanompin23:
Hope we dont actually need S-OFF to install the new rom when its done. S-OFF not working too well for some people..
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:

[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
I don't think anyone is talking about the RUU leak. Can't speak on anyone else's behalf but reformatting my computer had hindered my progress towards s off. I was merely stating that when NRG updates this specific ROM, I'm hoping it doesn't require s off because I want to flash this puppy the second that its available (and if I don't have s off yet then, ill be sad he he).

There's been speculation that all ICS ROMs based on this leak will require S off because it has a new radio among a few other things. (even though there's a method to flash the RUU itself without s off, which would potentially forever lock your phone in S on since HTC patched the new method of s off already in the bootloader update that the RUU flashes).
[HTC Amaze 4G] frodoboy:
That's not what I've been reading on the Ruby_ICS thread. I don't think it will be a problem. I'll tell you though, all these premature ejaculators are driving me nuts! There are already over 70 pages of posts and many are totally confused and asking the same questions over and over and over. Some are also posting how they did it and then others say it won't work that way. I am waiting for trusted NRG to come up with his very simple way to flash ICS in a custom ROM without S-off and without jumping through 15 hoops! I'm sure it will be as simple as 1....2......3.....I can wait!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
You need to flash the radio

There are only two ways of doing this

With S-OFF or Applying the .zip in hboot with locked bootloader
[HTC Amaze 4G] lnxpro:
true on the radio. i actually re-locked my boot-loader and applied the leaked ICS RUU update which flashed the radio plus some other fwupdate which i believe stand for some firmware updates. the boot loader was also updated to 1.93 from 1.90. anyway. the radio was updated and I no longer have the WiFi disconnect issues.

so when NRG releases this ROM we may only need to re-lock the boot-loader but that process is easy anyway. all you would do is:

"fastboot oem lock"

I can't wait for his version of the ROM which will have all the goodies. I am using the RUU for now so I get used to where things are at and get used to ICS.
[HTC Amaze 4G] govindar77:
Correct friend.

S-off did not work for me. Got some weird error.

So, I relocked my bootloader, flashed the stock ICS, and unlocked bootloader.

Now, when NRGZ releases his ROM, I'll flash from HBOOT, and since the ROM will be rooted, I can then flash recovery. BINGO!!

Now, come on NRGZ, come on NRGZ ..... :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
Ha ha ha. Yeah, I quit even trying to stay caught up on that thread sometime this morning lol. I'm impatient and am in the process of gaining s off. been working all day however because my stupid (windows based) netbook (that I only really use when I need access to the Android SDK) was so bad that I had to completely reformat it. Now that I'm finally ready to begin I'm having ADB issues. Haven't had to troubleshoot ADB in years lol. I'm about to rip my hair out of my head with impatience right now lol.

Once I get S Off I'll be flashing the leak for now. And flashing NRG's new ROM the instant that it's available =)
